my little black is getting old, day by day... but still can feel its power.

however, old car is going to get higher maintenance cost and insurance...

i am thinking to change, but i cant find anyone can replace it from the market...

Celica with the same engine, but the outlook is a bit <_< ... hard to say here :rolleyes: , just not my cup of tea

new version corolla Levin, 100kw and heavier body :( ... not a very good choice...

Any ideas bros...

If you already have Sportivo, going for Celica would go ideal if you wants better handling to go with the manic engine. But you don't fancy its styling so it is a good time to go for another make.

How about Honda Integra Type S or Type R? They are affordable second hand. Or you can go to turbo land and grab yourself S15 for some naughty rear actions. If not, Mitsubishi Evolution or Wrx STi for all paw prowess.

If you like to treat yourself for upper scale brand, there are many European brands to choose from for quite desirable price. Alfa 147 GTA, Golf GTi, Ford XR5 and Mini Cooper S. My choice would be 147 GTA, shame it was not as affordable as it is now back then.

Ford Focus XR5 turbo or Honda Civic Type R would be good hot hatch upgrades.

I'm gonna wait until the new 200SX comes out before I think about changing.

You're keen on the Alfa as you fantasize about breaking down all the time :P

As Meatloaf would say "you took the words right out of my mouth" LOL

XR5 is slow and heavy and has no room for anyone over 5"6". Seats are for people with small a55es too.

Go the Golf GTI. Plenty of good quality car for your money and performance is good stock. So much to unleash in terms of aftermarket tuning. Have a mate who does chips/tuning etc for them and his is putting out over 340hp at the front wheels last time I saw it but he informs me yesterday that he now has more!!

Totally agree with you there, nuts little cars and have so much potential. The TSI-engined models are incredible bang for your buck if you're not going to modify, the turbo diesels are my pick of the bunch if you're going to spend a little bit on them.

And to quote him again (shown in my signature):

i need to take a shot of cement to harden the f up ... if an aurion can do it i can do it :D surely :P musta been a wicked driver.. or insane... or both....

I guess it was either a combination of soft driving or that car couldn't handle the best cause he was quite a distance behind.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
